Musical Journey
The big news this week was that the first of James' teeth has arrived on the scene. He has been dribbling madly for the last couple of weeks, and the root cause became apparent as his bottom two teeth started to emerge through the gum.
With Anna's graphic design course due to finish at the end of this month, she has been very busy over the last few weeks to ensure that she wraps up everything on-time. I'm very pleased to say that, aside from some momentary confusion over her portfolio, everything appears to be on track.
On Thursday, the winter solstice here, Sydney played host to the start of MusicFest. The main idea, as I understand it, is to “promote musical practice and live music without a profit-making goal”. Anna had picked up a leaflet earlier in the week, but I happened to be on the ferry to work when the very first performer got underway (at 8 in the morning). It was a rather surreal, although enjoyable, few minutes as lots of soberly-dressed city commuters and I (less well dressed) made our way into Darling Harbour listening to a guy playing the keyboards and singing away!
